    it's kind of sad really...the darker animated stuff they have put together is actually really entertaining.
    pandering to a general populace for a quick $$$ really neuters their creative license.

    I wasn't aware that he was producing it. Good to know.

    If Justice League and Wonder Woman bomb, I think that will be the final two nails in their coffin.

    Feel like Wonder Woman may save that franchise, IDK about JL though.

    I heard Wonder Woman was having problems too.
    Its kind of crazy that the DC property I'm most looking forward to now is Aquaman. I feel like this will be a mediocre Batman now

    such a shame honestly because DC's characters are much more compelling and exciting. Their animated series/films are unreal.

    Even the CW does a GREAT job with the Arrowverse.

    I'm okay with this. Just need to get a good director that won't eff it up.

    The studio should just find the most Affleck-looking replacement actor possible. Doesn't even have to be an actor.

    Or better yet, just find a guy with a similar name.

    A David Fincher Batman film would be crazy. WB need to write a blank check.

    Wonder Woman’ Director Patty Jenkins Responds to Claim That Film is ‘A Mess’

    Wonder Woman” director Patty Jenkins responded to an open letter allegedly written by a former Warner Bros. employee that slammed the production company for releasing an array of subpar superhero movies, ranging from 2013’s “Man of Steel” to this month’s “Suicide Squad.” The letter then proceeded to allude that “Wonder Woman” would be a “mess.”

    “Maybe Wonder Woman wouldn’t be such a mess,” the letter states. “Don’t try to hide behind the great trailer. People inside are already confirming it’s another mess. It is almost impressive how you keep rewarding the same producers and executives for making the same mistakes, over and over.”

    Although the identity of the letter’s author remains a mystery, Jenkins was less-than-pleased. She released a string of tweets on Friday responding to the scathing words.

    Woah, just saw this press about WW having problems. Are they serious? This is some made up bs right here. Made up! Produce a source, anyone.

    You can’t because it’s entirely false. Don’t believe the hype people. Someone’s trying to spread some serious misinfo.

    “This is some made up bs right here,” Jenkins tweeted. “Produce a source, anyone.”

    Jenkins went on to write “You can’t because it’s entirely false. Don’t believe the hype people. Someone’s trying to spread some serious misinfo.”

    Isn’t until you are intimately involved in these things that you realize how totally false these rumors can. Let me reassure you...

    Zero about the movie we are making has been called a mess by anyone in the know. Fact.

    Real lasso of truth, time, will reveal that letter to be false soon enough. But lame something so transparent in its agenda gets traction.

    6:52 PM - 12 Aug 2016




    Though all the films criticized in the letter were indeed critical flops, all managed to gross successfully worldwide. “Suicide Squad” currently looks to top the weekend box office in its second frame.

    Starring Gal Gadot, “Wonder Woman” hits theaters June 2, 2017.

    The only DC movie that's going to be received well is this upcoming Lego movie with Gob. Gratz.

    Reeves is capable company man. It could have been a lot worse.
